CAD is one case where CLI is especially useful, not just for speed/ease of use, but also because it can enable math, referencing parts/variables by name (rather than having to find them visually and click on them), and history redo/edit (basically an interactive scripting shell). GUIs have been attempted to reproduce these features, but they’re incredibly clunky, often requiring lots of text entry anyway.
